Owensboro Metropolitan Area
The Owensboro Metropolitan Statistical Area, as defined by the United States Census Bureau, is an area consisting of three counties in Kentucky, anchored by the city of Owensboro. As of the 2000 census, the MSA had a population of 109,875 In the 2010 Census the population was 114,752. Owensboro is more closely defined as a part of Kentuckiana than the neighboring Evansville Metropolitan Area even though at present all three counties are in Kentucky. The reason for this is that the primary city, Owensboro sits on the Ohio River directly across from Spencer County, Indiana, which is likely to become the fourth county in the metropolitan area. Perry County is also like to become part of the area as well.

Famous quotes containing the words metropolitan and/or area:
“In metropolitan cases, the love of the most single-eyed lover, almost invariably, is nothing more than the ultimate settling of innumerable wandering glances upon some one specific object.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“During the Civil War the area became a refuge for service- dodging Texans, and gangs of bushwhackers, as they were called, hid in its fastnesses. Conscript details of the Confederate Army hunted the fugitives and occasional skirmishes resulted.”
—Administration in the State of Texa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
